Thanks Ron for referencing the link. I found it very useful.

 

I'm glad to know that avocadoes, onions, pineapples, and mangoes are the

lowest in pesticide exposure among the conventional fruits.

 

However, coconuts are not on the list. Hooray !!! (By the way, I cut my young

coconuts in half with a $20 Fiskar loper from Home Depot after the water content

has been emptied. Even my 9 year old son can cut a coconut in half. It is a

dedicated loper to be used only for cutting coconuts and not used in the garden.

The thought came to mind as I was pruning one day.)

 

I'll think twice about picking up the good old fuji apple, 2nd highest on the

list. And I rarely eat peaches. What a shocker!
